hese mental ELEMENTS. Comparing the accompanying human skull
with those of brutes, thus those of snakes, frogs, turtles, alligators,
etc., slope straight back from the nose; that is, have almost no moral or
intellectual organs; tigers, dogs, lions, etc., have a little more, yet
how insignificant compared with man, while monkeys are between them in
these organs and their faculties. Here, then, is INDUCTIVE proof of
Phrenology as extensive as the whole brute creation on the one hand,
contrasted with the entire human family on the other.

Again, Destructiveness is located by Phrenology over the ears, so as to
render the head wide in proportion as this organ is developed.
Accordingly, all carnivorous animals should be wide-headed at the ears;
all herbivorous, narrow. And thus they are, as seen in tigers, hyenas,
bears, cats, foxes, ichneumons, etc., compared with rabbits, sheep, etc.
(Cuts 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30).
DESTRUCTIVENESS LARGE.

To large Destructiveness, in cats, foxes, ichneumons, etc., add large
SECRETIVENESS, both in character and head.
SECRETIVENESS AND DESTRUCTIVENESS BOTH LARGE.

Fowls, in like manner, correspond perfectly in head and character. Thus,
owls, hawks, eagles, etc., have very wide heads, and ferocious
dispositions; while hens, turkeys, etc., have narrow heads, and little
Destructiveness in character (cuts 31, 32, and 33).
DESTRUCTIVENESS LARGE AND SMALL.
